Is this for me
You need a degree in veterinary science and/or a dog grooming course (available only outside India). You must love dogs and have the expertise to handle them.

Insight
“You should enter the dog grooming profession only if you have a passion for dogs, not just for profits. It’s a tiring and difficult job,” Aradhana Pandey, Doggy World.

How it was done
After completing a veterinary science course, an MBA, a pet grooming course from Bangkok and two professional stints, Aradhana Pandey started a pet shop, dog clinic and dog parlour simultaneously in 2002 in Rohini (North Delhi) – the first such centre in Delhi.
